On the other hand, Jakub Mensik is 19 years old and currently ranked No. 54 in the world (career-high No. 45). In 2025, he has a record of 12 wins and 6 losses, also reaching 3 quarterfinals. In the Miami tournament, he has a perfect record of 4 wins and no losses, advancing to the quarterfinals. Mensik broke into the Top 100 in February 2024 and achieved his career-high ranking in February 2025 after defeating No. 6 Ruud to reach the third round of the Australian Open. He had notable victories in Doha, defeating former champions Andy Murray and Gael Monfils, as well as No. 5 Andrey Rublev, becoming the youngest Czech player to reach an ATP Tour final and the first man born in 2005 or later to play in an ATP Tour final. Mensik’s journey in Grand Slams includes reaching the third round of the 2023 US Open and 2024 US Open, as well as the 2025 Australian Open. He also won his first Challenger title at the 2023 Prague-2 tournament and reached the boys’ singles final in the 2022 Australian Open on the ITF Juniors circuit.
In terms of records, Fils achieved a significant win over No. 2 Zverev to become the third Frenchman to reach both the Indian Wells and Miami quarterfinals in the same season, joining the ranks of Noah and Monfils. Mensik aims to reach his third ATP Tour semifinal, having previously made it to that stage in Doha and Umag. He would also be the third active Czech player to reach an ATP Masters 1000 semifinal, following Lehecka and Machac. His Live Rankings currently place him at No. 46, and a quarterfinal win would propel him to No. 34.
Lastly, if Mensik reaches the semifinals in Miami, he would become the 5th-youngest men’s semifinalist in tournament history at the age of 19 years and 6 months. Other notable names on this list include Andy Roddick, Pete Sampras, Felix Auger-Aliassime, Rafael Nadal, and Carlos Alcaraz.
In their upcoming match, Fils will strive to maintain his strong performance and aim for his 10th ATP Tour semifinal, while Mensik looks to continue his successful run and advance to his third semifinal at this level.
